Talks: Redeye Lightbox Launch

To celebrate the launch of Lightbox 2017-18, photography network Redeye has asked previous Lightbox participants to share their experiences of the course. This event is an opportunity for prospective applicants to learn more about the course content and have any questions answered before applying.

Lightbox is a year-long course that aims to launch or develop the careers of the best emerging photographers. It is aimed at photographers who already have a high standard of photography and are keen to experiment and develop their work further. Speakers at this event include:

> emerging photographers Richard Stout and Karen Rangeley, selected by an expert judging panel during last year’s Lightbox. Their practices range from the constructed image to documentary.

> Tristan Poyser, Peter Barker and Simon Bray from the Strand Collective, a group of seven photographers that came together during last year’s Lightbox. Their Second Skin exhibition debuted at the Brighton Photo Fringe Festival 2016.

Tickets are free (available here) and donations are encouraged to help support future programming.
